Well it was dark at midnight
|
There was hardly any moon
|
And no one really saw much
|
No one was really sure
|
But something didn't seem right
|
Something was kinda queer
|
A roar turned into whispers
|
Everyone stood there
|
|
As the sound spilt the night
|
They ran hiding from the light
|
Like strangers in the night
|
Like strangers in the night
|
|
Well I didn't see no shotgun
|
I didn't see no knife
|
But I saw this crazy black guy
|
With the demon in his eye
|
And I heard him say "white man"
|
I've seen that silver cue
|
You don't remember me well
|
But I remember you
|
|
As the sound spilt the night
|
They ran hiding from the light
|
Like strangers in the night
|
Like strangers in the night
|
|
Well the knife just left his fingers
|
As the black guy took his aim
|
White guy's head exploded
|
The black guy howled in pain
|
Then everybody scattered
|
I heard some woman scream
|
God damn you old black bastard
|
You've blown away my dreams
|
|
As the sound spilt the night
|
They ran hiding from the light
|
Like strangers in the night
|
Like strangers in the night
|
